Flappy Bird (Java Swing)

This project is a simple Flappy Bird clone made with Java Swing.

It was inspired by someone else's project—I was interested in how a game was made and wanted to try building one myself. At the time, Swing was the only GUI technology I knew, so that's what I used. Through this little project, I learned a lot about the basics of game development, including animation, collision detection, and handling user input.

Fun fact:
When I finished this, I thought making games was always this straightforward. But when I tried to make a 2D platformer, I quickly realized it's a lot more complex than it seems! I'll leave game development to the experts, but I really enjoyed the learning experience with this project.
